Business Goal Setting and Then Following Through

Everyth Roller Ball is easier when you ar work toward a goal. My goal is your success and I assum that is your goal as well.


Your busi can't go accord to plan if you have no plan.

goal set is on of the most import thing that you will do in the New Year. I ve got a few tip to help you get thereWhat do you want to achiev thi year? More new custom per week? Higher averag order amounts? Better custom servic ratings? No matter what it is you ar shoot for..

1. Keep it Challeng but Realistic.

if you had an averag order amount of $700 last year,A ni goal that you set for your compani should be challeng but don t over do it. For example. you wouldn t want to set your goal for thi year at $3000 per order. Unless you make drastic chang in how your compani run or what you ar selling, that goal is just not realistic. You know best what you mai be abl to achiev in your particular industry, so be honest with yourself and set your goal accordingly.

2. Write All Your Goal Down.

"I want to get 20 more new custom per week thi year." A few month later you will be sai "Did I sai I want 20 or 30?" Or more realistically,You mai sai to yourself on Januari 1. you have forgotten that you even made that goal. If you have all of your goal written down you will be abl to not onli go back and check them, you will also be abl to go down the list everi few month and check to see how mani of them you have completed.

3. Assess Your Current Situation.

To set goal you have to know where you ar at right now. In 2003 I want to assess our custom servic rate so we sent out a survei to all of our custom on which thei could rate us in each depart of our operation. That help us establish our base. Now we send the survei to everi custom after everi order. Thi wai we can keep track of how we ar do and if there is ever a hiccup we can fix it quickly. Don t assum anything. Alwai assess the current situat befor set a new goal.

It' Only Go to Hurt A Little...

000 in Gross Income last month you should budget to spend $7000 on market in the next month. Wait... I know,Mov on... Start with the amount of incom that your compani gener last month and multipli it by .14 or 14% . That mean that if you had $50. it sound pain but it is just like a shot at the doctor. It might hurt for a minut or in thi case a month but down the road you ar go to be glad that you went through it.

ani market is better than no marketing. Don't get discourag if your budget is lower than 14%. But us 14% as the ideal to strive for because,I know that some busi run tighter than other and it is possibl that you won't be comfort with that amount in the begin . Don't misunderstand me. for me as well as mani other grow businesses, it ha proven to give the best rate of growth possible. How do I know, you ask? My compani ha expand 400% in the past 2 years.
